Re-opened to queries today and will post a more in-depth #MSWL soon but I'm especially on the hunt for contemporary YA. If you can comp Katie Henry, Ben Phillipe, Nicole B. Tyndall, Becky Wallace, David Yoon or Jeff Zentner, to name a few, send them my way!

I am here for this but not apologizing for the sports metaphor because I LOVE sports, so points if it's sports related. #MSWL #askECLA

So much this...#MSWL

I am half way through THE BABYSITTERS COVEN and its fabulous. If you can comp paranormal YA similar to this please query me!! #MSWL #amquerying #writerscommunity

Reiterating these plus adding the amazing SCARS LIKE WINGS by Erin Stewart. Send me your queries! #MSWL #amquerying

I've read some amazing contemporary YA lately. If you can comp HER ROYAL HIGHNESS by Rachel Hawkins, WILDER GIRLS by Rory Power, SERIOUS MOONLIGHT by Jenn Bennett, LET'S CALL IT A DOOMSDAY by Katie Henry and YOU'D BE MINE by Erin Hahn send your queries my way. #MSWL

#MSWL I've tweeted something similar in the past but YA in the same vein as Sally Thorne, Marisha Pessl, Helen Hoang, and Caroline Kepnes are evergreen requests for me.

#MSWL I've read amazing contemporary fiction lately. WITH THE FIRE ON HIGH, RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE, MEET CUTE, THE MUSIC OF WHAT HAPPENS, ALEX, APROXIMATELY, THE PRINCESS AND THE FANGIRL, 99 PERCENT MINE, ON THE COME UP. So great! If you can comp these for YA send them my way.

YA Caroline Kepnes, Stacey Thorne, Marisha Pessl (maybe already YA??), and Helen Hoang. #MSWL
